Fortunate indeed have been the
students of 1952-53 who were
privileged to be a part of the
celebration of the Fiftieth
Anniversary of Fort Hays State.
As the college begins its
■
second half-century of educational
service to Western Kansas,, its
students well realize the
ever-growing importance of
Fort Hays State in the targe
area which falls within its
sphere of influence.

DEDICATION
To Mrs. Nita M. Landrum
who, for nearly twenty years, has given her energy, her
ability for organization, and her great capacity for un-
derstanding to the students and graduates of Fort Hays
State.
As executive secretary of the Alumni Association, Mrs. Lan-
drum serves as the strongest tie between the college and
the thousands of former students, scattered throughout the
world—
As supervisor of correspondence study, she provides help-
ful direction to off-campus students—
As supervisor of the college loan funds, she offers
sympathetic assistance to students with financial problems-
Mrs. Landrum's sincere devotion to Fort Hays State is so
deep-rooted it amounts to a veritable way of life.
The 1953 Reveille
is respectfully dedicated to
MRS. NITA M. LANDRUM,
who has become a Fort Hays tradition.
M. C. CUNNINGHAM.

NURSE EDUCATION
Added to the Fort Hays State curriculum in
the fall of 1952, a three*year program of
nurse education is under the direction of
Miss Leora Stroup.
Fifteen girls and one lone, but extremely
popular, male constituted the pioneer class.
And, just for fun, here is what happened
to a perfectly good public relations man
when he volunteered to help Miss Stroup get
Judy (who is life-weight, as well as life-size)
into bed for a publicity picture,
Troy Crowder is the victim; Jack Hunsley
the alert photographer.
Cheerleaders Dorothy Tokushige, Evelyn Gardi-
ner, Joy Mi shier, Billie Bertram, Charlotte

A lot of planning goes into school spirit

Students of 1952-53 will not soon forget
the big two-day celebration of the Fiftieth
Anniversary of Fort Hays State.
The pageant, "The Fort Hays State Story"
was a memorable event— a good show in
anybody's book.
The basketball ballet that brought down
the house.
The Bloomer Girls were dexterous as well as beautiful.
THE 50TH
ANNIVERSARY
CELEBRATION
Bea Ward os the Queen of Opportunity in a beautiful ballet

Nearly half of the student body had
some job to do in connection with the cele-
bration, but everyone wearily agreed that it
was well worth the effort.
A Custer Hall scene of 1926.
Buffalo Bill, General Forsyth, Calamity

)f the pages of history.
With the haunting accompaniment of the
and, the orchestra, and the a cappella

allege was told to a capacity crowd of
iends and alumni of the college.

the college's independence from Emporia.
Present day students turned
back the hands of time to repre-

ing the depression.

In each scene of the pagent, the spotlight paused for a moment
on a tableau of a boy and girl in period costume, engaged in
some activity typical of the period the scene was portraying.
At the assembly convocation, Miss Anne
Laughlin, far left, one of the college's most
distinguished alums, returned from Washing-
ton, D. C. # to give an inspiring address.
Music was by Mrs. Mildred Albertson New-
port, now of Davenport, Iowa, who was a
popular entertainer during her college days.
Portraits of the four former presidents
of the college were unveiled in an impressive
ceremony, with students from each man s
era returning to do the unveiling.
In the afternoon, the two new buildings
were officially opened. Below, left, Dean
Emeritus Agnew and Mrs. McKenna sit in
the luxurious new parlor and discuss the days
when they shared many problems when
Mrs. McKenna was housemother of Custer
and Miss Agnew dean of women.

at the new Applied Arts building. Just below,

HOMECOMING
The Queen was Elizabeth Belden, a

The campaign was a hot one, and
the cleverest campaign stunt (see below)
did not necessarily insure a winner.
The attendants, shown below in the
parade, were Mary Anne Willour, Jennie
Mayhew, Joy Mishler, and Marianne
Rouse.

Everywhere there were crowds of people— lining the streets to watch the Fort Hays State band
leading the parade— filling the stadium for the football game— and packing the Coliseum arena for ths
dance, with Tex Beneke's orchestra furnishing the music*
Everywhere you turned, somebody hod put out some sort of o Fiftieth Anniversary
banner or symbol.

This year the Tigers were the youngest team in the history of the school.
The squad, which averaged eighteen years old, consisted of fifty-five fresh-
men, twelve sophomores, seven juniors and three seniors.
Coach "Red" Huffman was able to field a fighting team* They were in-
experienced but made up for it with their determination.
The Tigers' season record was very misleading and did not give a fair
picture of the kind of team they had. Although they won only one game and
tied two, they gave every team, even the best, a good game.
Donald "Rocky" Rorabaugh, one of Huffman's sixty-minute men, was named
on the All-C.hC, first team* "Rocky" is an eighteen-year-old junior from Smith Cen-
ter, and has lettered three years here at F.H.5. He has been a sixty-minute man
for the last two years and was a starting defensive guard when he came to Fort
Hays State in '50,
Three seniors have ended their college football careers. They are Johnny
Roth, Merle Garey, and Earl Minks. Johnny was a three-year letterman from Hays,
and spent his three years playing halfback for the Tigers. Merle is a three-year
Tiger letterman from Downs* He played his first year at Washburn. Merle was a
main sparkplug in the Tigers' defense this year. Earl, from Greensburg, was a
sparkling halfback and a good defensive man.
With all but the three seniors returning, "Red" has a very promising squad
for next year.

BASKETBALL 1952-53
Right in the thick contention throughout the season, the Fort Hays State Tigers offered no
small surprise to the basketball fans around the C.I.C. After leading the league for several
weeks, the Tigers fell short on a disastrous two-game road trip at the close of the season. They
managed, however, to turn up with an undisputed second place in the tough conference race.
Working with the youngest squad in the conference, Coach Cade Suran depended largely
on a foursome of sophomores — Melvin Christensen, Marvin Andrews, Bud Moeckel, and Glen
Cooper. The fifth spot in the starting line-up was alternated between Jack Denison, only senior on
the varsity, and Eugene Anderson, junior.
In scoring 333 points during the season, Melvin Christensen shattered the school's single-sea-
son scoring record, set only last season by all-C.I.C. -forward Bob Ziegler.
For the first time, a Central Conference tournament was held during the Christmas holidays
in Hutchinson. The tournament had no bearing on the final conference standings, but did enable
the teams to get some idea of what they would be up against later. At the affair, Fort Hays State
was far off its usual standard of play and ended up in third place.
Cade Suran had his picture
taken with the 1951 trophy
when his Tigers won his 100th

ALL HAIL TO THE NEW APPLIED ARTS BUILDING!
And here it is in its entirety— before landscapers had gone to work, and before that strange
new flag (which turned out to be the Kansas one) was raised.
In the new industrial arts wing— the one that stretches, they say, "clear to Yocemenfo/ you
can learn all sorts of mysterious but practical procedures.

THE STUDIO GUILD
COLLECTION
Shown for the first time at
the official opening of the new
Applied Arts Building was this
new collection of 26 pieces of
art, the gift to the college of
members of the Studio Guild of
New York*
The collection represents o
wide variety of art media, as
well as a variety of types of
art.
"Winter Evening," a watercolor by Henry Gasser, is a favorite
of many gallery visitors*
Anna Huntington Hyatt's sculpture,
"Ship of the Desert*"
William Saltzman's oil, "Magnetism," pleases the lovers
of modern art*
And this is Custer Hall, with
its lovely new wing and its old
one refurnished beyond recogni-
tion.
How vital the telephone at a
college dormitory. Lela Mae
Kreutzer takes a call with
Phyllis Suiter waiting her turn.
The Custer Hall switchboard

willing women. Norma Auston
makes it look interesting.
